JACK BRITTON AGAIN DEFENDS WELTER CROWN Bout Tonight Gives Young Shade Second Chance With Veteran. By DAVID J. WALSH, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Before the cold, gray dawn of another day shows on the frozen Eastern skyline anew welterweight champion of the world may be having his fractious nails attended to ty the blonde at the corner barber shop. We use the provisional “may" with due depluration, because Dave Shade, the plausible young man from California, is not considered to be better than a long shot to defeat Champion Jack Britton in the fifteen-round welterweight title affair at Madison Square Garden tonight. Yet Shade must be accorded the conventional chance of any challenger who happens to have a pair of hands and the will to win. The Californian is said to be as tough as a night in jail with a shot-of lethal poison in either gloTe and anyone will tell you for the asking that Britton, approaching his thirty-seventh year at an undignified gaHop, is about ripe to be plucked by some enterprising youth. . Jack, however, is clever to the point of being downright nasty about it, and few of the sharpshooters are prone to believe that Shade, with all his youth and aggressiveness, can “take" him inside fifteeen rounds. The prevalent odds are 3 to 2 that Britton ■will retain his title. Seventeen years as a pugilistic headliner have given the champion a backing round of skill and experience that is not easily erased by a chance few blows of a young challenger. Further than that, the yearg have dealt kindly with Britton, for his life has been an exemplary one. This will be Shades second attempt to lift the welterweight from Britton’s aging pate. About a year ago they met and the Californian scored the only knockdown of a bout that went the limit. Tley called it a draw at the finish much to Shade’s vocal astonishment. Both ore said to be well within the prescribed limit of 147 pounds for tonight’s clash.

NEWS OF THE DAY IN

Dalton Puts Over Point Win in Main Encounter at Fort Boxing Fans Given Usual Thrills at Harrison Show — Bridges Beats Soldier. By HEZE CLARK. Jimmy Dalton of Indianapolis never fought a better fight than he did last nigh; at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Dalton had to fight, for Louie Lovell of Anderson Is certainly one of the best lightweight boxers in the Hoosier State, and he forced Dalton to battle all the way through ten fast rounds. Dalton won a decision, and with it the best claim to the lightweight championship of the State of Indiana. Again the clubhouse of the B't. Benjamin Harrison Athletic Club was packed with fight fans last night to see one ol the best boxing shows of the year. The newly constructed bleachers, which greatly increased the seating capacity of the building, were soon filled, and every inch of standiiig room was taken. Delbert O. Wilmeth, judge of the city court, was the guest of honor at the club and was at the ringside. Besides the main go between Dalton and Lovell there were three other boxing matches and a battle royal. Bobbie Bridges of Indianapolis won a decision over Battling Morreallis in eight rounds of fast boxing. Morreallis, the fighting soldier from Ft. Harrison, seemed unable to solve Bridges’ clever defense and the tall Indianapolis athlete outpointed the soldier in six of tile eight rounds. The surprise came in the second preliminary W'hen Chuek Turner was outpointed by Kid McCoy of Morristown in a six-round fight. McCoy won the decision, for he completely outfought Turner after the first round. Tall, and carrying a real kick in either glove, the Morristown boxer proved a willing mixer. There was one disappointment on the card, and that was the first preliminary. Jimmie Tomeeello knocked out Jimmy Casey, but the disappointment was that the boxer who was to have met Tomeeello failed to appear and the Ft. Harrison Club was forced to use a sutstltute. The big crowd cheered its approval as five husky negros climbed through the ropes for the battleroyal. A giant yellow colored man who called himself the Belgian Baby stood in the center of the ring and the other four each had a corner. Then the fun started. The five battled and there was a real scrap in progress for almost five minutes when two went down at the same time and were pulled from under the ropes by two soldiers. The Belgian Baby was still in the ring. A tall, dark negro was ihe-e, and a little fellow who appeared to be the “outsider." Both of the big fellows picked on the little man, who was knocked down time and again, but came up. landing rights and lefts on his giant opponents. The crowd howled Us praise of the little man’s efforts, but he finally took the count, and then the Belgian Baby disposed of the exceedingly dark boxer with a right swing to Jaw. In tho main go the fight fans witnessed thirty minutes of real flighting. Lovell, in the opening rounds, appeared to be Dalton’s equal in boxing and the first two rounds were a good draw. Then Dalton gained a slight shade in the third round. Lovell fought all the way In spite of the fact that Dalton bad the better of all rounds from the third to ninth. Then Lovell “won a home" with the fight fans, for he came back in the tenth round and outfought Dalton. However, Dalton during the entire .fight had a wide margin on points and aggressiveness and deserved the decision. Notre Dame Beaten in Rough Net Fray With Aggies' Squad EAST LANSING, Mich., Feb. 17.—Notre Dame lost a fast and rough game to the Michigan Aggies here last night, 30 to 24. Thirty-nine fouls were -ailed during the game, twenty-one on t.-.e Irish. The Aggies led all through the first half with the visitors dangerously towards the close of the perid. The half %nded, 15 to 13. Notre Dame tied the score at 20 all in the second half, but could not stand the pace and the AggSeg gradually pullea away. With less than a minute to play the Aggies Increased their lead from three to six points.

WILCOX REFEREE OF MAIN GO Howard Wilcox, famous race driver and sport enthusiast, today was named to referee the Anthony Downey-Johnny Griffiths main go of the Progress Athletic Club's boxing show at Tomlinson Hall Monday night Feb. 27. Wilcox has had previous experience as the third man in the squared circle and his choice is expected to prove popular. He refereed the Harrison-Wiggins bout at the Coliseum during Shriner week a couple of years. Matchmaker Dillon Is busily engaged in lining up a strong preliminary card for the big event. He already has his main go and semi-final arranged and he desires to put on two attractive prelims. In speaking of the ability of Johnny Griffith as a fighter of merit, Tom Walsh, Griffith’s manager, today sent the following communication to the Times: “If Dave Shade is entitled to a chance with Jack Britton this Friday night in New York, then Johnny Griffiths will soon get his chance at the title himself. Mickey Walker, who defeated Griffiths the other night, knocked out Shade in six rounds two months ago, but it was such a good fight they decided to give Shade another chance. The same with Johnny Griffiths, the Akron boy, for while Walker may have beat him the other night he, like Dave Shade, Is boxing desperately for a chance at the title. “Griffiths will fight Anthony Downey at Indianapolis like he never fought before, and after Griffiths beats Downey we want the Indianapolis promoters to get either Mickey Walker or Jack Britton for Griff. "Remember, that every great fighter, including Leonard, Dempsey and Britton, has been defeated at some stage of their career and this is the first decisive one for Griffiths, but Indianapolis fight fans will see a real fighter when Griffiths steps Into the ring, for it often takes one defeat to wake up a man and

The “Y” Leaders piled up a score of 20 to 9 by the end of the first half, due to the fine basket shooting of Barnum. At the start of the second half the Tailors threatened to come back, but the substitution of fresh players by the Leaders stopped the rally. Smart was tho big light for the losers. The second game of the evening was the more Interesting. The quality of basket-ball the teams put up would not compare with that of the Leaders, but the fact that the teams were move evenly matched accounted for the --lose game. The Fairbanks-Morse five had to fight through two overtime periods to win. The De Molays started off big in the first half, but weakened and allowed the Electricians to knot the score at half time at 7-all The second half was a battle royal, each team fighting for all there was in It.

Bodie was on the ineligible list of the Boston American League club for failure and refusal to report after being traded to the Red Sox by the New York Yankees in July, 1921.

Boston was a second division club and had no chance of sharing In the world's series money. Judge Landis, In denying reinstatement to Bodie said: “Certainly It would be an Intolerable situation if a player on one club should have a financial interest in the success of a competing club.” Judge Landl9 also denied the claim of Vernon Spencer, outfielder, sent by the New York Giants to Indianapolis, that he Is a free agent. Spencer appealed from a ruling of the arbitration board of the National Association which held he was not a free agent.

Shaw on the reserve list of the Pittsburgh Pirates, lor reinstatement was denied.
